An Architecture-based Approach for Change Impact Analysis of Software-intensive Systems

A main property of software-intensive technical systems is sustainability. Sustainable systems need to change continuously. A change to a system element can result in further changes to other system elements. If these elements originate from different domains, the change can also propagate between several domains. This book presents an architecture-based approach to change propagation analysis of software-intensive technical systems that considers heterogeneous elements from different domain
